It's a Rebellion.* You didn't put yourself through law school just to be another cog in the machine. You're meant to fight. To win. To _matter._ And to still have time to binge Netflix, go to the gym, or catch a flight on Friday night without checking your inbox every 5 minutes. *It's time to bet on yourself.* Join us. Start winning for the people - and for yourself. _Los Angeles Office (6330 San Vicente Blvd) | No remote._ Job Type: Full-time Pay: From $120,000.00 per year Benefits: * 401(k) * Dental insurance * Health insurance * Life insurance * Paid time off * Retirement plan * Tuition reimbursement * Vision insurance Ability to Commute: * Los Angeles, CA 90048 (Required) Ability to Relocate: * Los Angeles, CA 90048: Relocate before starting work (Required) Work Location: In person
